Hi Tim,
playing around with 3.7.5 getting some quick schematics for a PCB that
I am going to make. Backend will be pcb-gtk.
I get a message dialog telling me it is not allowed to insert
parameters in text which doesn't show up if I try to do exactly the
same in debian sid version of xcircuit. (3.6.135)
What I do is:
* Create the symbol with pins
* Make user object
* Dive into the symbol (am I now doing edit on this instance or the
library instance if I add further elements? Think not, but not sure
anymore)
* Place the pcb:U? info label,
* select the ?
* parametrize it and call it index
* Place a regular text
* type U
* then ctrl-p and select 'index' from menu
* program responds with Application Error dialog saying: Error:
Insertion into handle or selection not supported...
Here is the dump of the message text:
Insertion into handle or selection not supported (yet)
Insertion into handle or selection not supported (yet)
while executing
"label insert parameter [.parameter.keylist get $kidx]"
invoked from within
"if {[string last "text" [xcircuit::eventmode]] >= 0} {
label insert parameter [.parameter.keylist get $kidx]
}"
(command bound to event)
Since starting writing this email, I checked another option by going
to the library page and there push into the symbol and place a
parametrized label by pressing ctrl-p while typing, same response from
program.
If I use the menu item Text->Insert->parameter, I get the message too..
Since I can use 3.6.135 form most of my editing, I do not complain
that hard as 3.7 is development, but I thought maybe I would throw in
a question to get updated.
Kind regards,
